I've recently installed our wood burner with a back boiler.
Pictures etc here:

I'm currently installing floor and stud walls upstairs. So it's going to be a good while before the back boiler is fully plumbed in and working.

Can I run the wood burner without water in the back boiler?

The boilers are not connected to anything yet, so obviously vented to air.

I've only done a draw test on the wood burner, so far.

Thanks. Does that mean I can't run the wood burner at all until it's fully plumbed in?

Definitely, yes.

Ditto mysteryman, you can't use your stove at all until the wet side is connected and filled
